Introduction¶
The aviation industry is a global powerhouse, with millions of flights operated each year. Though air travel is one of the safest modes of transportation, yet the stakes remain high when accidents do occur. A single crash can ripple through economies, impact regulatory policies, and shift public perception of air travel. Understanding and predicting the severity of these crashes is not only crucial for enhancing safety protocols but also for minimizing the impact on passengers, crews, and the wider community. Moreover, as the aviation industry continues to evolve, with the introduction of new aircraft technologies and operational protocols, a data-driven approach to understanding potential crash outcomes becomes even more vital.
Recent events have underscored the importance of this issue. For instance, the tragic crash of a passenger plane in early 2024 raised questions about existing safety measures and the effectiveness of current predictive models. Investigations revealed that while initial crash predictions indicated low risk, unforeseen factors led to a disastrous outcome. Such incidents highlight the necessity for more robust predictive frameworks that can analyze various parameters—including weather conditions, human factors, and aircraft maintenance history—to provide more accurate severity assessments.
This project sits at the intersection of machine learning and real-world applications, showcasing the transformative power of data science in critical fields. By leveraging advanced algorithms and big data analytics, we can derive insights from vast amounts of historical flight data, accident reports, and environmental conditions. As we embark on this project, we aim not only to contribute to the body of knowledge in aviation safety but also to illustrate how data science can drive meaningful change in sectors that affect our daily lives. By harnessing the power of machine learning, we strive to create a safer future for air travel, ensuring that lessons learned from past incidents lead to actionable insights that protect lives.

Data Collection¶
The Airplane Accidents Severity Dataset on Kaggle provides detailed information on airplane accidents that occurred between 2010 and 2018. It consists of two CSV files: "train.csv" and "test.csv". The training dataset contains 10,000 rows and 13 columns, while the testing dataset includes 2,725 rows and 12 columns. Each row corresponds to a unique airplane accident. The dataset features the following columns:
- Accident_ID: A unique identifier assigned to each accident.
- Accident_Type_Code: A numerical code indicating the type of accident (e.g., "1" for "Controlled Flight Into Terrain," "2" for "Loss of Control In Flight," etc.).
- Cabin_Temperature: The cabin temperature at the time of the accident, measured in degrees Celsius.
- Turbulence_In_gforces: The g-force experienced by the aircraft during the incident.
- Control_Metric: A measure of the pilot's ability to maintain control during the accident.
- Total_Safety_Complaints: The total number of safety complaints filed against the airline in the 12 months leading up to the accident.
- Days_Since_Inspection: The number of days since the aircraft's last inspection.
- Safety_Score: A metric that evaluates the overall safety performance of the airline.
- Severity: The severity level of the accident, categorized as "Minor_Damage_And_Injuries," "Significant_Damage_And_Fatalities," "Significant_Damage_And_Serious_Injuries," or "Highly_Fatal_And_Damaging."
- Accident_Type_Description: A detailed description of the type of accident.
- Max_Elevation: The highest altitude achieved by the aircraft during the flight.
- Violations: The number of safety violations recorded for the airline in the 12 months preceding the accident.
- Adverse_Weather_Metric: A metric assessing weather conditions during the time of the accident.

Data Cleaning¶
- The code given below checks for missing values in the training and testing datasets by summing the null entries for each column.
- It helps identify which columns have missing values and their extent.
df_train.isnull().sum()
| 0 | |
|---|---|
| Severity | 0 |
| Safety_Score | 0 |
| Days_Since_Inspection | 0 |
| Total_Safety_Complaints | 0 |
| Control_Metric | 0 |

| Cabin_Temperature | 0 |
| Accident_Type_Code | 0 |
| Max_Elevation | 0 |
| Violations | 0 |
| Adverse_Weather_Metric | 0 |
| Accident_ID | 10 |
The
Accident_IDcolumn has 10 missing values. Considering the dataset contains 10,000 records, removing these 10 rows is a reasonable approach. This represents only 0.1% of the data, and the impact on the analysis or model performance will be negligible.By removing Accident_ID and Accident_Type_Code, we ensure the dataset maintains its integrity and avoids issues caused by missing values, ultimately resulting in a more reliable dataset for further analysis or machine learning tasks.

- We calculate the median of the Cabin_Temperature column, excluding rows where the value is 0.
- Median is chosen as it is less sensitive to outliers compared to the mean, ensuring a robust replacement value.
- All occurrences of 0 are replaced in the Cabin_Temperature column with the calculated median. This ensures the dataset does not contain invalid values while preserving the column's overall distribution.
- We confirm the value used for replacement and verifies the updated frequency distribution of Cabin_Temperature.

Exploratory Data Analysis¶
The dataset is now clean, consistent, and ready for reliable analysis or modeling
Outlier Analysis¶
# Prepare numerical data for boxplots
num_df = df_train[['Safety_Score', 'Control_Metric', 'Turbulence_In_gforces',
'Cabin_Temperature', 'Max_Elevation', 'Adverse_Weather_Metric', 'Total_Safety_Complaints']]
# Set the number of rows and columns for the grid
num_cols = 2 # 2 boxplots per row
num_plots = len(num_df.columns)
rows = (num_plots + num_cols - 1) // num_cols # Calculate required rows
# Create the figure and axes
fig, axes = plt.subplots(rows, num_cols, figsize=(14, rows * 4)) # Adjust size dynamically
axes = axes.flatten() # Flatten axes array for easier indexing
# Plot each variable as a boxplot
for i, col in enumerate(num_df.columns):
sns.boxplot(data=num_df[col], color='skyblue', width=0.6, ax=axes[i])
axes[i].set_title(f'Boxplot of {col}', fontsize=14, color='black', pad=10) # Title
axes[i].set_xlabel(col, fontsize=12, color='black', labelpad=10) # X-axis label
axes[i].set_ylabel('Value', fontsize=12, color='black', labelpad=10) # Y-axis label
axes[i].grid(visible=True, color='gray', linestyle='--', linewidth=0.5, alpha=0.6) # Grid styling
# Hide any unused subplots
for j in range(num_plots, len(axes)):
axes[j].set_visible(False)
# Adjust layout to fit everything nicely
plt.tight_layout()
# Show the plot
plt.show()
The primary focus here is to visualize the distribution and detect potential outliers for key numerical variables using boxplots. Boxplots are particularly useful for summarizing the range, interquartile range, median, and identifying outliers in data.
This approach provides a comprehensive visual analysis of numerical data, enabling:
- Identification of outliers that may skew the analysis or modeling.
- Comparison of distributions across different features.
- Quick insights into the data's structure and variability.
As can be seen from boxplots above, the data is prone to a lot of outliers especially variables like 'Total_Safety_Complaints', 'Adverse_Weather_Metric' and 'Turbulence_in_gforces'. Removing them does not make sense as it will lead to a lot of data loss. Let's see if we can improve the situation by transforming these variables
#Let's map the Dependent variable to their respective categorial dummies
df_train['Severity']= df_train.Severity.map({'Minor_Damage_And_Injuries': '1', 'Significant_Damage_And_Fatalities': '2', 'Significant_Damage_And_Serious_Injuries': '3', 'Highly_Fatal_And_Damaging': '4'})
df_train.head()
| Severity | Safety_Score | Days_Since_Inspection | Total_Safety_Complaints | Control_Metric | Turbulence_In_gforces | Cabin_Temperature | Accident_Type_Code | Max_Elevation | Violations | Adverse_Weather_Metric | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 49.223744 | 14 | 22 | 71.285324 | 0.272118 | 78.04 | 2 | 31335.47682 | 3 | 0.424352 |
| 1 | 1 | 62.465753 | 10 | 27 | 72.288058 | 0.423939 | 84.54 | 2 | 26024.71106 | 2 | 0.352350 |
| 2 | 2 | 63.059361 | 13 | 16 | 66.362808 | 0.322604 | 78.86 | 7 | 39269.05393 | 3 | 0.003364 |
| 3 | 3 | 48.082192 | 11 | 9 | 74.703737 | 0.337029 | 81.79 | 3 | 42771.49920 | 1 | 0.211728 |
| 4 | 2 | 26.484018 | 13 | 25 | 47.948952 | 0.541140 | 77.16 | 3 | 35509.22852 | 2 | 0.176883 |
The dependent variable Severity is mapped to categorical dummy values to streamline analysis and ensure consistent representation. The mapping is as follows:
- 'Minor_Damage_And_Injuries' → '1'
- 'Significant_Damage_And_Fatalities' → '2'
- 'Significant_Damage_And_Serious_Injuries' → '3'
- 'Highly_Fatal_And_Damaging' → '4'
This transformation converts descriptive labels into numeric representations, simplifying visualization and modeling tasks.
# Define the figure and axes with a specific size
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 6))
# Create the count plot
sns.countplot(
data=df_train,
x='Severity',
palette='coolwarm',
order=df_train['Severity'].value_counts().index, # Sort by frequency
saturation=0.8,
ax=ax # Use the defined axis
)
# Add a title and labels
ax.set_title('Distribution of Severity', fontsize=16, fontweight='bold', pad=15, color='black')
ax.set_xlabel('Severity', fontsize=12, labelpad=10, color='black')
ax.set_ylabel('Count', fontsize=12, labelpad=10, color='black')
# Rotate x-axis labels for better readability
ax.set_xticklabels(ax.get_xticklabels(), rotation=45, fontsize=10)
ax.tick_params(axis='y', labelsize=10)
# Adjust layout to remove extra space
fig.tight_layout()
# Display the plot
plt.show()
Insights from the Plot
- The count plot provides a clear view of how the data is distributed across the four severity categories.
- It highlights potential class imbalances, which are crucial to address in subsequent modeling steps, particularly for classification problems.
Distributions of Variables¶
# Define the number of variables and create subplots
num_vars = num_df.columns
num_plots = len(num_vars)
rows = (num_plots + 2) // 3 # Arrange in a grid with 3 columns per row
fig, axes = plt.subplots(rows, 3, figsize=(15, rows * 4)) # Adjust size dynamically
axes = axes.flatten() # Flatten the 2D array of axes for easier indexing
# Set a consistent theme
sns.set_theme(style="whitegrid")
# Plot each variable in its respective subplot
for i, var in enumerate(num_vars):
sns.histplot(num_df[var], kde=True, color="skyblue", ax=axes[i]) # Use histplot with KDE
axes[i].set_title(f"Distribution of {var}", fontsize=14, pad=10)
axes[i].set_xlabel(var, fontsize=12)
axes[i].set_ylabel("Frequency", fontsize=12)
# Hide any unused subplots
for j in range(num_plots, len(axes)):
axes[j].set_visible(False)
# Adjust layout to remove unwanted spaces
plt.tight_layout()
# Show the plot
plt.show()
Handling Skewness¶
Skewed distributions can adversely affect machine learning models by violating the assumptions of normality in some algorithms. To address this, specific transformations are applied to normalize the data.
Initial Visualization Histograms with KDE:
- Each numerical variable is plotted using sns.histplot() with KDE (Kernel Density Estimate) overlays to observe the data distribution.
- Left Skew: Variables like Control_Metric show a distribution with a longer tail on the left.
- Right Skew: Variables such as Cabin_Temperature, Total_Safety_Complaints, Adverse_Weather_Metric, and Turbulence_In_gforces have distributions with a longer tail on the right.
#Fixing the right skew
num_df['Total_Safety_Complaints'] = np.log(num_df['Total_Safety_Complaints']+1) #+1 cause the log here takes a negative value
num_df['Adverse_Weather_Metric'] = np.log(num_df['Adverse_Weather_Metric'])
num_df['Cabin_Temperature'] = np.log(num_df['Cabin_Temperature'])
num_df['Turbulence_In_gforces'] = np.log(num_df['Turbulence_In_gforces'])
#Fixing left skew
num_df['Control_Metric'] = np.power(num_df['Control_Metric'], 2)
Transformation of Skewed Variables
To normalize the distributions:
Right-Skewed Variables:
Log transformations are applied using np.log(), which compresses the right tail and spreads out values near zero. Variables Transformed:
- Total_Safety_Complaints (added +1 to avoid logarithm of zero).
- Adverse_Weather_Metric
- Cabin_Temperature
- Turbulence_In_gforces
Left-Skewed Variable:
A power transformation is applied to Control_Metric by squaring the values (np.power(x, 2)) to correct the skewness.
# Define the number of variables and create subplots
num_vars = num_df.columns
num_plots = len(num_vars)
rows = (num_plots + 2) // 3 # Arrange in a grid with 3 columns per row
fig, axes = plt.subplots(rows, 3, figsize=(15, rows * 4)) # Adjust size dynamically
axes = axes.flatten() # Flatten the 2D array of axes for easier indexing
# Set a consistent theme
sns.set_theme(style="whitegrid")
# Plot each variable in its respective subplot
for i, var in enumerate(num_vars):
sns.histplot(num_df[var], kde=True, color="skyblue", ax=axes[i]) # Use histplot with KDE
axes[i].set_title(f"Distribution of {var}", fontsize=14, pad=10)
axes[i].set_xlabel(var, fontsize=12)
axes[i].set_ylabel("Frequency", fontsize=12)
# Hide any unused subplots
for j in range(num_plots, len(axes)):
axes[j].set_visible(False)
# Adjust layout to remove unwanted spaces
plt.tight_layout()
# Show the plot
plt.show()
Post-Transformation Visualization
The histograms are re-plotted after the transformations:
- Variables previously skewed to the right exhibit more symmetrical distributions post log transformation.
- Control_Metric no longer shows left skewness after the power transformation.
Advantages of Transformation
- Improved Model Performance:
- Normalized distributions help in reducing model bias and variance.
- Algorithms sensitive to distribution perform better with transformed data.
- Enhanced Interpretability:
- Correcting skewness ensures that summary statistics like mean and standard deviation better represent the data.
Feature Correlations¶
# Calculate the correlation matrix
correlation = num_df.corr()
# Create a heatmap with better styling
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8)) # Adjust the figure size
sns.set_theme(style="white") # Use a clean white background theme
# Create the heatmap
heatmap = sns.heatmap(
correlation,
annot=True, # Annotate each cell with the correlation value
fmt=".2f", # Format the numbers to 2 decimal places
cmap="coolwarm", # Use a color palette
vmin=-1, vmax=1, # Ensure the color range is consistent
linewidths=0.5, # Add thin lines between cells
annot_kws={"size": 10, "color": "black"} # Customize annotations
)
# Add title and labels
plt.title("Correlation Heatmap of Numerical Variables", fontsize=16, fontweight='bold', pad=15)
plt.xticks(fontsize=10, rotation=45, ha='right') # Rotate x-axis labels for better readability
plt.yticks(fontsize=10, rotation=0) # Keep y-axis labels horizontal
# Remove extra spaces and display
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
No variables show worrying levels of correlation to each other except 'Control_Metric' and 'Turbulence_In_gforces'. However, keeping them in the model yielded better results. Also, 0.6 is more closer to 0.5 than any extreme so i decided to keep them.

- The StandardScaler from sklearn.preprocessing is used for standardization.
- Standardization transforms each feature to have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, ensuring a common scale without distorting relative relationships.
- scaled_df.head() outputs the first 5 rows of the standardized data.
- This allows verification that scaling was applied correctly and data integrity was maintained.
#Let's check the mean(Should be approximtaley 0) and SD(Ideally 1) of the scaled dataframe
scaled_df.mean()
| 0 | |
|---|---|
| Safety_Score | -2.212000e-16 |

Model Training¶
Baseline Models¶
This experiment involves training and evaluating three machine learning models: Random Forest, XGBoost, and a Neural Network.
# prompt: use random forest
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
# Initialize and train the Random Forest Classifier
rf_classifier = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, random_state=42) # You can adjust hyperparameters
rf_classifier.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Make predictions on the validation set
y_pred = rf_classifier.predict(X_Val)
# Evaluate the model
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_Val, y_pred)
print(f"Random Forest Accuracy: {accuracy}")
#Now you can use the trained model to predict on the test set
#test_predictions = rf_classifier.predict(scaled_df_test)
Random Forest Accuracy: 0.9434434434434434
Random Forest Classifier:
Description:
- A tree-based ensemble method that combines multiple decision trees to improve performance.
- n_estimators=100: Uses 100 decision trees.
Accuracy:
- The validation accuracy was 0.95.
Strengths:
- Handles both categorical and numerical features well.
- Robust to overfitting with enough trees.
Inference:
- Achieved good accuracy on the validation set, making it a strong baseline.
- May not handle multi-class classification as effectively as specialized methods like XGBoost.
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
# Encode the labels
label_encoder = LabelEncoder()
y_train_encoded = label_encoder.fit_transform(y_train) # Convert strings to integers
y_Val_encoded = label_encoder.transform(y_Val) # Use the same encoding
import xgboost as xgb
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
# Initialize and train the XGBoost Classifier
xgb_classifier = xgb.XGBClassifier(objective='multi:softmax', num_class=4, random_state=42)
xgb_classifier.fit(X_train, y_train_encoded)
# Make predictions on the validation set
y_pred_xgb = xgb_classifier.predict(X_Val)
# Decode predictions back to original labels if necessary
y_pred_xgb_decoded = label_encoder.inverse_transform(y_pred_xgb)
y_Val_decoded = label_encoder.inverse_transform(y_Val_encoded)
# Evaluate the model
accuracy_xgb = accuracy_score(y_Val_decoded, y_pred_xgb_decoded)
print(f"XGBoost Accuracy: {accuracy_xgb}")
XGBoost Accuracy: 0.953953953953954
XGBoost Classifier:
Description:
- A gradient-boosting algorithm optimized for speed and performance.
- objective='multi:softmax': Used for multi-class classification.
- num_class=4: Specifies four target classes.
Label Encoding:
- Categorical labels were encoded into integers using LabelEncoder.
- Predictions were decoded back to original labels for evaluation.
Accuracy:
- Validation accuracy was 0.95.
Strengths:
- Often achieves superior performance on structured data.
- Built-in handling of multi-class tasks.
Inference:
- Likely achieved better accuracy than Random Forest due to boosting and optimization for multi-class problems.
